10 GDPR changes to bear in mind

By Howard Kennedy LLP

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the biggest change to data protection law in 20 years. Practically every aspect of the old law has been overhauled and modernised.

GDPR is required to be implemented by your firm from 25th May 2018.
